Man City - 115 Charges

Other Premier League clubs cant sue Man City. As part of their registration with the Premier League, they agree to Premier League Rule X (Football Association clause K) which means they have to agree to arbitration.

Even if they could, the hearing started back in September and legally clubs had to start legal proceedings through the PL or FA against them within 6 years of the breach against them. That deadline has well and truly gone given the majority of the charges go back to 2018.

Clubs have looked into suing others when things haven't gone their way. Take when Sheffield United tried to claim against West Ham for instance with the signings of Tevez and Mascherano. Fuck all happened.
Good knowledge, ty for that. This makes it more likely that the Premier League could do something then?

West Ham paid Sheff United £20m

 
It’s along read however it explains the processes involved and the complexities involved in the charges.

 
if imagine let Man City and newcastle use thier spending powers that put pressure on the rest of the premier league, championship, league 1, league 2, non league clubs to spend more more financially and eventually they will dry and fold clubs especially to non league clubs will fold in the next 10 years sadly. No more FA cup games etc. FA react and change the rules to ensure its fair for everyone. Man city continued breaking the rules, thats why they were bieng investigated. They corrupted, f***ing wankers they are.
I have doubts with the Saudi's want to use their spending power on Newcastle.

They could really have done it by now considering Man City pretty much getting away with it Scott free
 
West Ham had to pay Sheff utd a bad full of cash I thought.

Which, when in comes to Man City is nowt. Like I said, there'll be no punishment for months if not years.

Well, they have done something in a sense. It doesn't mean anything is going to come from it, at least not any time soon.

Let's be honest, that's Man City not signing a young lad from South America to be loaned out for 4 year to their shared ownership clubs and making a decent wedge out of it. It's a pittance.

I have had season after season full of hope. I really pray that this time it will happen...mainly because my time is running out. I'd love to turn up my toes while Sunderland are at the very top .
It might be too dangerous to hold my breath!
Me dad something similar to me before the 2nd leg last month

I’m still in the “I’m gonna live forever” mode but reckon in 20/30 years I’ll be the same

Not being rude but I’m not reading that certainly not tonight cos I’ve got a proper Friday buzz today and can imagine it’ll put me in a radge

Even if found guilt City will appeal. That will take us, probably, to next season at the very earliest.
I expect
1. A huge fine that, to City, will be a pittance.
2. The biggest points deduction on record but not enough to relegate them.
At least one of the above. Possibly both so the league can say how heavily the punish cheating.
That is, of course, if they are actually guilty of any of the charges.
Transfer bans id think
